Chapter 171: Jiang Laoqi's Experience (Part I) (Ask for subscription!) )
Jiang Laoqi is just twenty-seven years old this year, he has a wife at home, and five children, the eldest son is just eleven years old, and the burden of the family is on Jiang Laoqi alone.
Every time he heard that his little daughter, who was just three years old and had a yellow face and thin muscles, told him that he was hungry when he was eating, Jiang Laoqi's heart was like a knife, but he could only harden his heart and stuff the only ration in the family into his own mouth.
Because he is the only breadwinner of the family, he has to go out to do manual work to be able to barely exchange some money to buy some food for the family and feed the family.
If he doesn't eat enough, then he may fall down when he is working, and if he falls, the whole family will starve to death, so Jiang Laoqi has no choice. But all that changed completely when the leader appeared.
Igo Country ...... No, now it's called Yiwu City, Yiwu City surrendered and became part of the leader Dahan's forces, Jiang Laoqi is a Han Chinese, he didn't expect to hear the power of the Dahan in this Western Regions.
However, the big man has little to do with Jiang Laoqi, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Laoqi if he changes his leader, because he will not give him new food, and he is still worried that because of the appearance of the new leader, he will not be able to continue to go to the city to do manual work, earn some wages to buy some food for his family.
But to their surprise, the arrival of the new leader did not affect his income, but gave them new hope! The new leader has issued a new decree, and the village leader has already said that the new leader will give them the grass people an equal amount of land, and all the land will belong to them! Each person gets 8 acres of land!
Although according to Murazheng's statement, a new calculation method is used for each mu of land, which is smaller than the original, and Jiang Laoqi can't understand it, probably the new six acres of land are about the same as the original four acres of land.
But even so, the new eight acres of land are equivalent to the previous five acres, and this is not divided between adults and children.
Their family of seven can get the previous 35 acres of land! This is a big surprise for Jiang Laoqi! This means that from this year onwards, no matter how bad the harvest is, his children will not go hungry!
So when Jiang Laoqi, who got the news, asked the carpenter in the village to make a tablet for him on the same day, and enshrined the leader who had never met before! May this new leader live a long and 100 years! No, it's better to live for 10,000,000 years!
Muramasa said that this new leader is said to be a god from heaven who came down to earth in order to save them ordinary pariahs, otherwise, how could the leader take those nobles and distribute the land of the big family to them these poor people?
The leader even said that if they were willing to migrate to the Peacock Sea, they would be given better fields, more fields, and it was said that they were thousands of hectares of fertile land created by the leader with divine power!
Many people in the village were already moved and followed the migration. If it weren't for Jiang Laoqi and a pair of old parents to take care of, he would have migrated with him.
Because if you follow the migration, the leader will take care of their food and not let them go hungry! It's just that his parents are not in good health and can hardly do too heavy work or travel long distances, so Jiang Laoqi stayed.
The three brothers who are still alive in Jiang Laoqi's family also stayed and did not leave, so that everyone can also take care of them here.
Originally, Jiang Laoqi thought that it would be like this until the leader divided the fields for them, then sowed seeds, and then obtained a bumper harvest, and then their family could eat their stomachs in the future, but there was a new change.
It turned out that the leader posted new official documents, Jiang Laoqi was not interested in these at all before, but now, although he is illiterate, he likes to read those official documents very much, even if he can't read them, especially he likes to look at the seal with the leader's name below.
He was illiterate, but he had memorized the pattern of the seal!
The content of this new official document was also told by the few people left in the village that the leader had opened a new mine, recruited workers to work, paid wages and took care of food! Although it is mining, it sounds dangerous, but Jiang Laoqi has already decided to go!
Because although the fields have not been allocated to them yet, Yiwu City has already sent people to measure the land in the surrounding villages, and some villages have already begun to allocate fields, and such a new life is given to them by the leader, so even the dangerous Jiang Laoqi has decided to go.
But he still has to go home and discuss it with his mother-in-law.
After returning home, Jiang Laoqi told his mother-in-law about it directly.
"But, in charge, this mining is very dangerous, if you have three long and two short, how can we live!" Jiang Laoqi's wife's tears fell on the spot.
"Don't worry, I'm very strong, I won't have an accident, besides, if there is no leader, we will go back to the old days, this looks like the land is about to be divided, the leader needs someone to work at this time, can I not go? If I don't go, if the first leader can't be our leader, then we don't have no land? Jiang Laoqi lowered his voice and said.
"But ......"
"Don't worry, I will explain to the eldest brother, and I will go to our house, because I am young, and if anything happens to me, they will take care of you." Jiang Laoqi said seriously.
"I ...... I know. Jiang Laoqi's wife didn't say anything, so she could only wipe her tears and agree.
"Don't cry, the place where I went to mine is very close, in the next village, digging that kind of black stone, I heard that as long as the soil on it is opened, it is not dangerous." Jiang Laoqi grinned.
"I see, go ahead."
Early the next morning, Jiang Laoqi hurried directly to the village Zheng's house, followed by about 20 strong laborers in the entire village, these more than 20 people were the youngest remaining strong laborers in the village, and they went to Dayang Village next door.
By the time Jiang Laoqi and the others arrived at Dayang Village, the sun had already risen for almost half the sky.
However, after coming here, Jiang Laoqi and the others found that almost all the nearby villages had come, and there were hundreds of people here at once.
Jiang Laoqi and the others lined up, first registered his name and home address at the gentleman's place, and then the other party gave him a wooden card with his information written on it, telling him to protect it, because he had to rely on this wooden card to pay his wages.
Hearing this, Jiang Laoqi immediately carefully hid the wooden plaque, Jiang Laoqi had already thought about it, and asked his mother-in-law to sew a pocket for him when he went back today, so that this thing would not be easy to lose.
The next thing is to get the tools, and then go and dig up the black things, which the gentleman who has just written call coal mines, which are similar to stones, but not as hard as stones, but not as laborious, but black, and soon people's hands and clothes are blackened.
But other than that, as the official document says, digging this thing is really not that dangerous, they don't need to go into the mine.
The morning's work was done quickly, Jiang Laoqi's stomach was already hungry, but he was still gritting his teeth and insisting, trying to dig out more coal, I have to say, looking at the huge coal piles piled together, Jiang Laoqi was still very happy.
The last basket of coal was poured, and suddenly there was a gong sound of "Dang Dang Dang" next to him, and a man shouted that they had eaten.
Jiang Laoqi and those who fell coal immediately went to line up, while some who did not fall coal dug up the last basket before coming to line up. There is no shortage of water here in Dayang Village, they lined up to wash their hands and faces, and then they received things, but to Jiang Laoqi's surprise, what he received was not rice, but a few pieces of paper with words written on them.
Could it be that this thing can be used as a meal? Just when Jiang Laoqi was stunned, the person who gave him these pieces of paper had already explained to their circle of people with a smile: "You all remember, this thing in your hand is called a food stamp." ”
"What do you mean by food stamps? It's just that you can exchange it for food, you know? Because the rice is too dirty to be distributed here, you have to go to the front yard to get the food, and the food is to receive it with this food stamp, remember the numbers on it, this is 1 yuan, this is 2 yuan, and each person has a total of 4 yuan. ”
"Take this food stamp and go to the courtyard over there to get food, understand?" The man went through them all one by one, making sure they all understood, and then let them go.
It's naturally not difficult to understand, but Jiang Laoqi scratched his head a little, isn't it okay to give this thing food directly? Isn't this taking off your pants and farting?
But he naturally didn't say this, but honestly took these food stamps into the courtyard, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiang Laoqi smacked his nose violently, because he smelled a smell of meat!
There's actually meat! This? It can't be for them, right?!
Jiang Laoqi couldn't hold back his saliva, he saw that the people in front of him had begun to swallow saliva, the team in front was very fast, and soon it was Jiang Laoqi's turn, and when it came to him, Jiang Laoqi's eyes widened violently, sure enough, there was meat, although it was not really meat, but broth, but this was also for Jiang Laoqi, this may be able to eat once a year!
Moreover, it's not just meat, there are cages of big steamed buns next to it! This...... They are reluctant to eat steamed buns once a year!
"Come, don't look at it, it's for you to eat, two yuan for a bowl of broth." The man standing behind the desk knocked on the table and laughed loudly.
"Yes!" Jiang Laoqi hurriedly took out the food stamp that he remembered was two yuan from the three food stamps just now and handed it to the other party.
The other party immediately used a large bowl next to him to make him a bowl of broth, there was not much meat, only sporadic minced meat, most of which were some wild vegetables thrown in, but this was already a rare delicacy.
Holding the broth, he walked to the side, and the man in charge of distributing the steamed buns said with a smile: "A steamed bun is a one-yuan food stamp, give me the ticket." ”
Jiang Laoqi hurriedly handed over the two food stamps, and the other party immediately gave him two steamed buns that were about the size of a bowl and a little black. The reason why this steamed bun is black is naturally because there is no way to remove the bran in this era, even if there is, Huo Gang can't remove it, eating white flour steamed buns is too luxurious, even if it is a steamed bun that does not remove the bran, it is a luxury for ordinary people in this era.
Jiang Laoqi, who was biting one in his mouth, holding one in his hand, and holding the broth in the other hand until he squatted down in front of a temporary wooden table next to him, he didn't dare to think that this was for them?!
